I'm shortly going to have to face what for us will be a heartbreaking decision. My wife and I love caravanning so much, and last year we finally found the perfect caravan, following ownership of two previous vans. We bought it brand new last April with many expensive extras added, and is only ten months old. I even bought a good tow car to pull it. I didn't mind spending so much because we love the lifestyle and intended to keep the van for many years. We've always enjoyed going away three or four times a year. The problem is my elderly mother has become infirm and can't go away with us in the van. She can't cope any more in her own house and has come to live with us. She needs constant attention at home which means my wife and I can't holiday with the caravan any more. I don't have the heart to put her in a care home, so it appears we are going to have to give up touring and sell our beautiful caravan while it still has good value. I just wish there was some sort of magical solution that would allow us to continue, but it seems impossible.
